No more sleepless nights alone,
This bed is better without you.
No more waiting up for calls,
I've got nothing left to say to you.
Let's head back to when the chinese 'O' Levels took place, shall we?
I haven't got much to talk about the chinese paper, except that I feel that it was pretty easy, and I don't see anything less than an A2. Not that I think my chinese's good, it's just that the paper was easy. Well, Beitris told me some answers after the paper and it sorta didn't match the ones I had in mind, but hell. Speaking of Beitris, note to take: I owe her a treat at NYDC. (:
Hmm, next's probably the whole stretch of POS activities. If I hadn't remembered wrongly, the last time I wrote about POS was when we crashed Bryant's place and I was feeling great about POS. What came after was nothing you could imagine. The following trainings hit us like a freight train, full force, right at the head. People were crying, people were frowning, you couldn't trace any colours in the otherwise greyish moods of the people in POS. It was just, last minute like everyone said. The preview was screwed up, yet no one really cared to perfect it. Or maybe, it's just that no one felt we could do it anymore. In other words, we were down in the dumps, discouraged, what flashed across was only to put up an average performance and not drown in embarassment.
The last day turned everything around. The prayer meeting was in fact, our one way ticket to victory. Spirits were raised when out voices and hearts joined in prayer, asking God to take us through the last lap of this race. Amazing, huh? What came after that were hard work after hard work. Tears flowed through even, when Anna Beth couldn't perform her once beautiful pop twist. And Junxiong were so dejected, you could sense heartache from a distance. But they came together in the end, and the three of them, Anna Beth, Junxiong and Chuanyu came up with so amazing a pop twist during the actual performance. The stretch of road leading to the stage after that were a bunch of nerves. I was so afraid I couldn't pop or catch Sarah and Vanessa in front of a crowd rumoured to be around 10,000. But as all POS people know, we did it, perfectly, no front support, nothing at all. Ah, and right after Steph did the pyramid, we ran off, yelling and jumping in joy. Sheer pleasure made me hug everyone in sight, people like Junle who came though this with me, Jeff who brought me here, Hendy who never fails to listen and gives the warmest hug. Running over to Hall7, we celebrated like we had won. And everyone was so cheerful, previous unwanted memories were erased.
Thus, Emerge 06' took off on a bright start. I should say, this conference was my first time crying and kneeling in the presence of God, as I thought about how He had brought me through not just POS but 16 full years. You see, I had immense parents objection, which rose when I returned home late after every training, and I was to endure much torture. But God came through for me, and right after POS, everything was worth it. I looked back when I first knew God, it was when some people knocked on our door and offered to give me Bible study. I went over to Heart of God Church after Mum came to know of free tuition, yes, don't laugh. Funny how this long journey through life led to me in City Harvest Church now, and I never imagined myself up on stage performing with such dear friends in front of a crowd roaring with pleasure. The last day of Emerge, emotions took over and I just teared silently. And as the friendship song came on, I looked to my side and saw every single of you guys. I wonder, how blessed am I?
Yes, we won POS! As well as being the overall champions for the clusters! As all the results were announced onstage, our hearts jumped together as we each held hands and prayed for favor in the Lord. As east and south battled for top glory, the final result swinged the trophy into our hands as we extended our lead over them. The trophy, I've never held anything like that, was one I had dreamt of since I was a boy. Strange how it wasn't related to any sport, but cheerleading. I thought back to how Liverpool won the Champions League last year, and I kissed the trophy like how Gerrad did that day. Sweet, I'll say. Pure gold, you can even see your own reflection. So we celebrated like we had never celebrate before, and a pity I couldn't go for dinner that day but ah. That trophy was filling enough.
Yesterday was a party for everyone from south! Crashed at Anna Beth's house and we played games. Actually, I knew what was coming already. To sum the first two games up, we tried to burst balloons and sumo-wrestled. And not forgetting getting ourselves all muddy and dirty. The last game as usual, though common, was really fun. Within a minute, everyone was wet thoroughly as water bombs whizzed all over the place. Anna Beth was the guys sole target but we managed to throw Deborah and Tingzhi into the pool. It was the best fun I had in ages, before the security came. Oh man, I tell you, it was a joke. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't match every word we threw back at him, and he even came up with an imaginary 1970 rule book that said water bombs weren't allowed. Well, we were in the wrong for being sarcastic after he left, but I felt we did enough by cleaning up the whole place after that.
Bathed, and went back the host's place all warm and clean. Pastamania would have blush should they taste the food we had there. The sauce was heavenly, and pity we could only have a plate each for our lateness. Played a 'lights out' hide and seek game with Jeff and Chuanyu being the entertainers, and I tell you, it was funny. Oh, and Tingzhi had this really scared look as she hid being the door for fear of being caught and Louisa, the little eighteen year old 'kid' hid behind some fridge. She's super cute, I tell you. She was like sniffing and saying, "You played cheat! They guided you here, and this is the best hiding place okay!". Aww, everyone gave in to her after that. Then came the part which I loathe, ghost stories. What's worse, the lights were all off when they told their super scary stories. I shutted my ears 3/4 of the time okay. Headed home around half past ten with Felicia (scary girl), Talleah, Kenneth, Keenan and Pengbo after bidding Lousia and Vanessa goodbye, and reached home around eleven. Stayed up till around two, talked to Vanessa over the phone for a while before I finally hit the sack.
So tell me, is this fun or what?
Alright, I guessed I updated enough. I'll write everyone a short note the next time I come online to blog. Like I always do. (:
